The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to see a decline in possessions today from facing the 3rd-slowest pace road team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Minnesota Timberwolves).The Thunder have been the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Out of all players in the NBA, Cason Wallace registers in the 10th percentile for getting to the foul line, averaging a mere 0.3 foul shot attempts per game while playing at home this year.The matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves may be a difficult one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting SGs have attempted just 2.2 free throws per game over the last 20 games (2nd-least in the NBA).
